Season 2 | Ep 1 | Chelm Justice - A Jewish Folktale
I read this story a few weeks back, just around the time when we were flooded with news of massive layoffs. It's curious how stories speak to me. I found this story and I had been itching to share it in some form.
So here we are, with Chelm Justice - A Jewish Folktale as Season 2, Episode 1 of Golpo: Stories from Around the World
Chelm is a fictional city in traditional Jewish stories where people are known for their stupidity. Like with other legends, there are string of 'Stupidity Tales'! I find these an excellent contrast to Wisdom Tales. So while we share wisdom tales, sharing Tales of Stupidity is equally important.
Listen to the story and share it with someone. Talk about the many stupidities that we have gathered in our lives. I'd really love it if the story triggers thoughts, memories and conversations.
